Just to cover the obvious, you do have "Vibrate feedback" selected in the Setttings/Sound settings menu, right?

It works as expected for me after checking that box, but the vibration is so slight it's barely noticeable. I suspect if I weren't looking for/expecting it, I'd have missed it.

Try cycling that checkbox, also, try with and without "Audible selection" checked.
[Thunderbolt General] MBeattie:
This is why I love you guys lol. I guess wiping the phone reset some settings that were enabled out of the box. One being haptic feedback for screen presses. Thanks so much, saved me from loosing my mind because I knew it worked when I first got the device.
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
I have taken the liberty of packing up the official update with Root access. Initially it will be available via PM only, after a few users have tested and verify that it works for them as well, I will release the link publicly.

I have removed a lot of the T-Mobile/Dell pre-installed junk. Also, I replaced the boot logo with a Blue Honeybee, if you don't like it I can provide an update.zip that will restore the Dell/T-Mobile logo.

MD5SUM (please verify before flashing, also make a Nandroid backup) - 971426ED95EA7CD564714EE5A29E61A1

Should be fixed now, uploading to my server, the link is the same as before - note the new MD5SUM. I left out a closing parenthesis in the updater-script, my apologies to everyone who already downloaded it. I will post a new post when the upload is complete, thanks for working with me on this.

Hope this helps some people out.

Alright, it would appear that I have this ready to go. So, without further ado, here is your link. If anyone (please) would like to mirror it for me, give a link and I will add it here as well.

By clicking here you acknowledge that you understand the risks you are taking flashing an update package from someone you do not know or trust (that would be me). If anything happens to your device, I'll try my best to help via PM or Email, but I take no responsibility. Only you are truly responsible for what you do to your property, ok... Here you go.
[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
i would be happy to test it out.

i have not yet updated due to many bricks after yesterdays update...so instead i waited for this..i knew it would come...i wasnt gonna ruin my root and CWR for a meazly update such as this...now for GB or HC i might have tried...but anyways happy to test let me know how i can get it from you...im waiting on my device to charge now...soon as its done ill boot CWR and give it a go if you provide the file

[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
ok tablet chargin will fire it up in a bit to give it a go

so just to be straight, the deal is, boot into clock work...and flash rom from zip on sd card correct? just making sure i got my steps right...do i gotta wipe or anything? i want this to go as smoothly as i can for everyone
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
Ok, the deal is this...

Boot into recovery

NANDROID BACKUP - DO NOT SKIP!!!!!!!!!

Flash rom from zip

Reboot

Test for Superuser rights.

No wipe should be needed.

And just to be 100% on this, do not do this if you are the least bit concerned about something going wrong. Also, you should have a good working knowledge of Android and willingness to troubleshoot it. The Nandroid backup is your safety net, as this update.zip will NOT remove ClockworkMod recovery - meaning you can roll back to your backup if it is not to your liking). If you flash this and boot up and find you don't have root, you can either restore your backup, or seek some personal help from me. However, it is my birthday and I will be pretty busy today.
[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
ohh not really concerned, i still have one day remaining to take this device back to tmo and if not i can call dell, make my wife cry at em a bit...ill get a new tablet...i work IT...when something breaks, i make it my personal duty to try to get the manufacturer to cover the expense. if not thats on me...i trusted the update. anyhow i thank you for this daveid, and i will let you know as soon as this light turns green. thanks agian. happy birthday...your generous on your b-day providing something usful to others in the community...i like that.
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
It's all about the community. Once the update was decrypted, I was all over it. ;)

Besides, I wanted to update my tablet too (the process will help me decide if I want to keep the thing or not).
[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
i hear you, if i didnt own a g1 and mytouch 3g prior to this...i would have NEVER rooted this thing, and in doing so i would have never kept it. that g1 really opened up my eyes for possibilites to come on android, so i stuck with. the reason i asked for your full set of instructions is because i recall some roms being flashed with wipe and some not...i just want my experience to be great when i let the public know that you sir ARE THE MAN!

[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
everything still works ok but update failed

so my phone boots fine...no problems...but the update did fail as stated in my last post...im awaitng instructions as we speak for further testing i am also searching what error 6 means
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
You have Clockworkmod recovery right? Did you verify the MD5Sum?

I am out doing birthday stuff now, but can be of more assistance later.

Might have a typo in my updater script, will check when I get home, sorry.
[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
i did verify the md5 sum with fast sum...same md5 as the one you gave...still a noo goo...and yes i have clockwork...that is how i performed the steps in my previous post...i almost typed out the actual options word for word...but its still pretty close
[Dell Streak 7] atrocityg1:
no problem i do remember reading about it being an updater script error. let me know what you get...im going to lunch...gotta test my belly...then ill be back to test your greatness in progress
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
Probably a typo I the line I had to add for su. When I get home I will check it and hopefully send an update out.

Found a typo, uploading new version now. Will post when it is up, please re-download... sorry everyone.
[Dell Streak 7] daveid:
Ok, the new (hopefully fixed) update.zip is on my server, the link is the same as before, the MD5SUM is now - 971426ED95EA7CD564714EE5A29E61A1.

see a massive improvment?

1 out of 10, 10 being the MOST improvment what woudl you say you saw after? and which ROM are you using?
[Atrix 4G General] vjoom:
It will be interesting to see. I only rooted with aroot. No custom rom.
[Atrix 4G General] dvigue:
when i say ROMS, i mean the ones posted in the android dev forum here. more like tweaks, like the gingerblur one, etc...
[Atrix 4G General] Mitty1990:
Tbh they don't offer that big of a difference when the phone is on Motoblur there is no lag anyways its just ugly, but Adeo is nice and root is essential imo.
[Atrix 4G General] Mustang302LX:
I'm rooted with Gingerblur (latest version) and have many tweaks installed and there really is no lag. There wasn't much lag before with MotoBlur for me but it seems to run better now.
[Atrix 4G General] EclipseX:
i don't know yet....i'm afraid can't get back :S....I only root my phone with superoneclick and give permitions for isntall non app market
[Atrix 4G General] motoatrix:
I concur, no lag what so ever for me.
[Atrix 4G General] dvigue:
im getting ALLOT of lag unlocking the phone, and i am getting it when typing in whatsapp..

and sometimes pressing an app on the home scree, it freezes a tad, and the box pops up to ask if i want to delete it..

im on 1.2.6 (i think that is the correct one) should i update to that leaked sbf?

what were the fixes in that leaked sbf anyway?
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Don't expect too much performance wise out of the current ROMs. You can get a custom launcher and locker that will help with some of the things you complained about... then just use titanium backup to freeze all of the motoblur stuff. In terms of performance, that shouldn't be too different from installing something like gingerblur, as far as I can tell. That should help with the problem with launching apps and unlocking.

The other issue (lag with whatsapp) seems like it would be most likely related to the app itself... blur running in the background might affect it slightly, but shouldn't make that much of a difference.
[Atrix 4G General] dvigue:
yeah i did all that this morning..not much diff. i wonder if a good SBF in is order? if i was to do that..which SBF is better?

then i can refreeze all the apps and blur stuff..

[Android Apps and Games] Dudebowski:
Good day fellow Droidians. I'm just a bit concerned that if a Joker blackhat or Ned Flanders whitehat gets a hold of my droid that he would be able to recover passwords and whatnot even after a remote factory reset. I've searched a little bit and have come up with nothing in regards to a remote formatting of droid memory. Sure, there are great apps like Prey that allow for a remote factory reset, but wouldn't that user data only be deleted by a single-pass overwrite, or even worse, just sent to a holding area or sent to non-userspace for easy recovery by someone with the right forensics tools? :eek:

Maybe I just don't understand linux-droid enough in their deletion procedure, but I understand the M$ procedure well enough to know that you should wipe your hard drive with a DoD 5220.22-m deletion method before selling it to someone.

Any thoughts on this?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
This question came up because someone was kind enough to supply a barcode I could use to link to a download. Turns out I can't use that download, which I knew by the description of the target.

Meanwhile, it opened up a new question that I would like to learn about and since I cannot find anything in the Streak section that addresses it and I thought other newbs might like to know, I decided to make it its own thread so maybe we can learn something new.

So without further ado, the question:

How do you use the Streak's camera to scan a barcode, especially to follow a link to a download?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bledula:
Once you download a barcode scanner from the market (or other download option) you use the app.

The app usually uses the camera to capture the barcode. It's as simple as that. Just point it at a barcode and it recognizes it and translates it into url. Problem is that it usually points you to a market download location so if you don't have market installed I'm not sure what it will do.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
Here is some info about using a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is a nifty tool and can be used on many phones, not just the streak. There are many barcode scanning apps in the market.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellojoe:
I found Google Goggles to work the majority of the time, and it handles barcodes and QRCodes.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacbr:
barcode scanner

normally, download a barcode reader depend on the barcode type, and you can decode the barcodes. if you want add the barcode reader into your apps, a barcode reader component is needed. links are often encoded into a qr code nowadays. i just used a KeepDynamic.BarcodeDecoding.Dll which works great!

about barcode

Hi there,Here is a turorial for a barcode generation. Not sure if it applies.Hope I helped~~~
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It doesn't because the question was about how to read barcodes, not write them. However, your contribution is appreciated as knowing how to create barcodes can be useful.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cm5:
I use this too, in fact it can do a whole lot more then barcodes.... translate text, recognize some objects, solve Sudoku puzzles.

Hi, all. Does anyone know if the one-click root version 2.X (not 3.X) works on EC05? I'm not interested in ext4, but I'd like to root and have access to Titanium Backup, etc. This worked with the last Froyo OTA.

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danasmith2816:
Yes, im on EC05 and rooted.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:

I just got the ec05 ota update and so far NOTHING has worked to root it.

They hang and never finish. After waiting for a couple of hours I pull the battery and reboot.

Ithink my next step is to try flashing one of the pre rooted roms to see if that works.

Unrooting?

Has anyone tried unrooting? with the one click unroot?

I get failed to rm on a bunch of stuff.. then when I manually reboot I still have super user installed and CWM 2.5.5 but no permissions or root access. 3 Times I have tried this on stock EC05. Is there an updated unroot for EC05?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
Fair warning: I've never rooted a phone before. I've dabbled in ADB with my nook color, but am far from comfortable with it. I installed Honeycomb on the nook color, then decided to just go simple with autonooter.

Now, I'm thinking of rooting my new Thunderbolt. Mostly because I'd like to get rid of all of the bloatware and try to get all of the performance out of my phone as I can get. After having the Droid1 for a couple of years, I do not want to see my phone get laggy like my D1 did.

So here come the beginner questions: once I root the phone, I know I need to get ROM Manager and Titanium Backup. Those apps will let me be able to get back all of my data and preferences, etc once I switch ROMs right?

What else will I need after rooting? Is it a simple process to flash a new ROM?

Can anyone suggest a (mostly) stock ROM that just gets rid of the bloatware and gives the phones performance a boost?

Also, does a rooted phone require a lot of maintenance? For instance, will I have to be updating ROMS often? Also, if an OTA comes out for non-rooted phones, do these updates get worked into the ROMs quickly? I dont want to be without a necessary update, ya know?

Last question: Once I root my phone, should I just cancel the insurance on the phone? Or does "voiding the warranty" only mean that VZW wont fix it for free?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyia38:
First off, I highly recommend following this rooting method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996616 and not using the easy root method. If you have any problems at all, you can log into http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951190 and get some help. I also highly recommend reading up a bit on ADB, what it is and how it works http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adb-easy-tutorial/

Then...once you get rooted use ROM Manager to flash the clockworkmod recovery. In ROM Manager there's a little fix that everyone's been doing: open ROM Manager, menu>clear download cache, then settings>erase recovery. Then do your backup before you do anything else like flashing another ROM. Use Titanium to backup all your apps. I recommend the paid versions of both since you will be using them a lot.

Added: What I usually do the first time: Root, backup rom, install debloated rom, set everything up like I want it and then backup again. Each time I flash a new ROM, I create a backup of it all set up and with the name so that I can easily switch back and forth. I like change :)

The basic debloat rom is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000103

It's easy to flash a new ROM, just download the one you want, put it on your sdcard and then use ROM Manager to 'install from sdcard'

You are going to be flashing ROMs left and right because they come out so fast. Each time an update is out, it'll be put into a ROM and released for all of us here so that you stay current. Most OTA updates will remove your root, so I wouldn't suggest applying them. Many ROMs will block the OTA updates, but not all of them do; at least in my experience.

I would not recommend getting rid of your insurance, it is different than the warranty and you can get your phone replaced if it's ever damaged. I've used it 3 times now all on rooted phones. It indeed will void the warranty.

Happy rooting!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scassel:
^ +1. I did use the easy root method and had no problems with it but it is truly still hit or miss. I am sure it will get better as more developers start pushing new stuff out.

Good luck
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
Thanks for the reply!

Why dont you recommend using the easy root method that I've been reading so much about? I realize it has some faults, but I'm planning on waiting until an updated version comes out. I'm a bit afraid to brick my phone while trying to root the phone myself.

Also, after rooting, how can i do a backup of my apps? Doesnt rooting wipe all of the data on my phone?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scassel:
Learning ADB would be helpful...I must admit, I am an easy root junkie. I just don't have the time to learn ADB. Maybe someday that will change.

Rooting will wipe your phone and I use Titanium Backup to back up my apps. It does make it a lot easier once you start flashing ROMs on a daily basis :-)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Gilgamesh-:
Because the non-easy method doesn't have any flaws, thus has a lot less chance of bricking your phone. If you copy and paste, then you reduce your chance to brick to practically 0.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
Thanks! After watching a video of someone rooting, I think I will be able to do the non-easy method.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyia38:
This reason as well as you can get instant support in irc.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
Thanks.

So to answer my previous question: When rooting, I'm still going to lose all of my current information including apps, sms, etc. However, its good to backup my phone before installing the debloated rom.

Is that correct?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorporateGoth:
Correct - when you root your phone, you're wiping everything except the sdcard, so you need to backup your apps and such.

And we should stop using the term 'not-easy' root ... how about 'less easy', it's not as scary ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
Another quick question: I downloaded all of the necessary files.

When I try to open up the RUU_Mecha zip file, it tells me that the file is invalid or corrupted.

I've downloaded it twice from different sources and this happened both times.

Any idea why this is the case?

Can anyone point me to where I can get a non-corrupt version?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt.D:
Even better call it the Original Root Method........
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyia38:
you don't open the files. The exploit one is the one you unpackage to your tools directory. The other you will put on your sdcard when told too. you can join #root and get help if you want.

as far as apps, the market 'should' reload all your apps when you wipe data just give it time. Then use titanium to back them all up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawonder:
So ADB is basically finding the root copy and paste and run ? .
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyia38:
I like that one :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyia38:
ADB is learning what you are doing to your phone instead of letting a program do it for you. Copy/paste is just so there are no typos if you don't feel as comfortable typing it all out. I recommend reading up on ADB so that you have a bit of knowledge of what you are doing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irish Whiskey:
do i need to use the titanium backup before i try and root or after i'm rooted
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pman555:
Titanium backup only works after you're rooted.

You can use a program like Mybackup Pro to backup stuff like sms mms, etc.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernodash:
As a first time rooter myself, I ended up doing the original root process. The well written instructions helped me not to feel paranoid and I breezed through the steps. While, I was confident in rooting the phone because of the instructions, I don't feel so confident post root because I don't know how to do many of the elements like flash roms, kernels, apply mods, etc. So my question is, are there any guides for flashing new roms and the steps taken before and after? For instance, let's say I wanted to flash adrynalyne's no bloat rom, and his mod package, how do I go about doing it? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDawg68:
If I root and remove bloatware manually, will OTA updates occur automatically, or do I have the option of blocking them. Would they re-install all of the bloatware I removed?
